For Honor's Season Five launches next month, introduces long-awaited dedicated servers

Ubisoft has announced that For Honor's fifth season, known as Age of Wolves, will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 15th.

Season Five will arrive in the form of a free update, and is largely focussed on quality of life improvements. It aims, says Ubisoft, to "enhance the core player experience" with changes to hero balancing, matchmaking, and connectivity. Major hero updates, fight system improvements, and new customisation options are also touted.

Season Five's initial update will see five of For Honor's heroes - that is, the Kensei, Conqueror, Highlander, Berserker, and Nobushi - receive changes designed to improve and better balance the existing roster. The Kensei and Conqueror will both acquire new move sets and animations, while the Highlander, Berserker, and Nobushi, will receive "meaningful" balancing adjustments. Other heroes will be updated as the season continues.
